As we condemn the Trump admin for this plan, I hope we also reflect on the many presidential administrations before him (including Democratic presidents) who had the opportunity to fully close the stain on American modern history that is Guantanamo and that opted not to.

Anthony Bourdain died seven years ago today. I think his legacy to Americans was to be a good guest, to appreciate culture not co-opt it, and that we need to be less afraid of lifestyles unlike our own. He was an ambassador to embracing equal but different. More people could stand to ponder this.

Goooooood afternoon, Anchorage! It was nice waking up to a view of the mountains this morning. I'll be at #AAS246 this week - feel free to say hello if you see me! Can't possibly miss my bright purple hair. 😂

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.

I'm staying sane during finals by taking short breaks between grading and studying to play Oblivion(!!). Naturally, I had to draft this portrait concept of Aulynwe, my altmer Hero of Kvatch! Hopefully I'll get some painting time in before I start my research travel over the summer! #elderscrolls

alright i have my laptop, guess i'm livetweeting the dire wolf preprint. so a quick reminder: this is not yet peer-reviewed, so there's some different expectations re: quality. also let's be clear, i'm a hella biased reader, bc i don't trust the hype they're courting

Normally I reassure myself that something like this is just a presidential request, not an actual budget, but the end of the article has a chilling possibility (in screenshot) for it becoming reality by circumventing Congress. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

Cuts to #science of >50% at NASA and >75% at NOAA would end US climate and space science research. NASA cuts are '...an "extinction level" event': arstechnica.com/space/2025/0... "At this funding level, Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research is eliminated...": www.science.org/content/arti...

We need to take action NOW. Losing this much scientific progress will be an open wound for years to come. This will devastate thousands of people's careers.

I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker: Read whatever the hell you want. I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

It's sort of insane how there's no room in the lower echelon of academia for personal...anything. I'm still quite unable to function on a day to day basis because of the overwhelming amount of grief I'm suppressing from my grandmother passing in December. It's compounded by the US falling apart. 🧵
